I'd say, playing entertaining rugby, top six position, or thereabouts, and still in the Challenge Cup ( If they've changed the dates to earlier in the season).

Depends what chapter she is on in her revision book

Well look at this season
The sunday fixture against Castleford 10949
The previous three Friday fixures
Leeds c/c 9261
St helens 10320
Salford 9385

I don't think there's a clear winner in the Friday versus Sunday debate, but Friday's bring in a lot more corporate money and usually means a better turnaround time when playing the other top teams who all play on Fridays.

I do agree with you though that playing games against teams who bring a decent following (Leeds, Wigan, Cas, Saints and Warrington are usually the only ones) on a Sunday afternoon can result in a bigger crowd, I think that Cas crowd above is our highest of the year excluding the Derby.

Get used to sub 10k gates next season. Can't see us selling 5k in season tickets.

You could be right. The tone and content of the season pass sales pitch will be interesting and crucial. I'd be sending Ellis round to people's houses personally.

The Wakefield game the week before on the Sunday had an attendance of just 9558.

I said a year ago gates will be right down

As for Ellis, he couldnt hobble down my road. Send your mate Yemo, give him summat to do, might be able to sell a pass rather than give one away

I believe AP has said in the past that Friday is much better for corporate entertaining as the club can't sell packages for Sunday.

Big crossroads for the club and its fans/supporters this time round.
